Mercedes-Benz A-Class ‘Sport Edition’ features
Front apron spoiler lip and trim front with diamond grille in black
The pronounced, arrow-shaped front module and the striking radiator grille lend the
A-Class a confident look and an air of vitality. To emphasize the beauty of the AClass,
radiator trim in the form of a diamond radiator grille is part of the Mercedes-
Benz ‘Sport Edition’. The front bumper has been treated with apron spoiler lip along
with chrome trims adding to the sportiness of the front design.
Diffuser-look rear apron trim and roof spoiler
The modified rear on the A-Class emphasizes the width even more effectively and
exudes strength and dynamism. Thanks to the increased downforce on the rear
axle, the ‘Sport Edition’ spoiler painted in the vehicle colour on the roof helps to
ensure better road holding. The diffusor-look rear apron trim enhance the looks,
providing a muscular feel to the rear end.
Mercedes-Benz GLA and CLA ‘Sport Edition’ features
AMG front and side skirt
GLA: Front splitters in matt titanium grey and distinctive flicks over the large side air
intakes give a dynamic note to the AMG front apron.
CLA: AMG front bumper with large air intakes and a front spoiler lip in body colour
for an aggressive, sporty and dynamic look.
AMG rear bumper
GLA: The GLA features a typical breadth-emphasizing SUV rear-end design with
